The Chickasaw Nation
Tackling hunger through technology and smart business buying solutions with HAQM Business.
Faced with a daunting challenge of food insecurity among its citizens, the Chickasaw Nation successfully harnessed the power of e-commerce through a smart business buying relationship with HAQM Business. Under the guidance of Joy Standridge, their Packed Promise program transitioned from distributing standardized food boxes to offering a selection of over 250 individual items that families can choose from, aligning more closely with their dietary needs and preferences. By integrating HAQM Business into their operations, they were not only able to significantly reduce delivery times, making meal planning easier, but also benefit from HAQM Business Analytics to better understand and respond to the needs of their community. This innovative approach has led to a nearly 20% increase in enrollment, advancing their mission to enhance the well-being of the Chickasaw people by ensuring access to nutritious food across their rural expanse.
“I know beyond any shadow of a doubt we are helping get good food to people where they live that they otherwise may not have access to. Working with HAQM Business, we have the potential to grow and meet more citizens wherever they live.”
